No pictures.... BUT

Ive used a few different car was soaps. One of my favorite is Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo. Its so lucious, and the scent, the coconut oils and fragrance, its like more of a treat for me than my cars. But that one I only use on special occasions since it is somewhat expensive.

My goto had been the DP soap. It was cheap, suds up nice, and rinsed fine. Ive also use the XMP shampoo on Mike Phillips recommendation and its ok, as was the Meguiars NXT shampoo.

At the end of the day all anyone asks for from a car wash soap is it gets sudsy, is PH neutral not to erode protections, can get the car clean without adding damage.

With all that said, Ive never used a soap that was a wash and wax type product. I figured that had to be marketing hype. Really how much protection could be left on the paint from a soapy water bath? Could this product change my mind? Well....

Here is what I can tell you. Of all the car washes I have used, this one felt different. It was a little thicker out of the bottle. It sudsed up. But it seemed even more slippery than any soap Ive used before. It was not my imagination. My sponge slid across the paint almost to easy. After I rinsed and dried the car, I also noticed the paint actually felt a little slick. Not as slick as if I had just applied a wax or detail spray, but slicker than what a car wash on its own normally leaves behind. There was something different, something going on here Ive never experienced before.

Nick said this product alone if used regularly can offer enough protection on its own. That might be true...

McKee's 37 Power Wash, foaming wash and wax
 
I recently finished off the previous DP version of this product. Since everything has been modified in some way, what you have should be even better.

I really like it. I found the cleaning properties to be really good and it does leave a nice layer of wax behind. I could see it when I flood rinsed the vehicle.

On my black car I found I didn't need to use a spray wax as a drying aid or a topper. The water would sheet right off leaving very little to dry and the shine was was noticeably better. Even on a recently waxed car.
 
I can attest to this.

I too have used quite a few different shampoos either in the 2BM or via the foam gun/canon.

McKee's 37 Power Wash does feel thicker than your average shampoo while providing the lubrication we seek.


Jaret, if you don't mind I would like to share pictures showing this. Below is the Xtreme foam formula without wax
